    At present, a floating solar power station has been built in the United Kingdom, located in the Elizabeth II Reservoir
    in Walton-on-Thames.
    This is the largest floating power station
    in the world.

    The solar power plant has 23,046 solar panels with a total area of 57,500 square meters
    .
    Funded and managed
    by Lightsource Solar Energy.

    The solar panels of the power station cover one-tenth of the reservoir area, cost a total of 6 million pounds (about 55.
    64 million yuan), and have a maximum output of 6.
    3 MW, which can provide enough power for 1,800 households without environmental impact
    .
    The power station will be used to supply water treatment plants
    around the River Thames.

    Compared to onshore solar power plants, on-water solar power plants offer significant advantages
    .
    The construction of water power stations does not require a development permit, water construction does not occupy agricultural resources, and water bodies can also effectively cool equipment
    .
